Hello volsfan39....... welcome to SAS !
RE: DOF dogfighting
You give no details but seems like you're using DOF QMB to set up bomber v bomber dogfights
In DOF & DBW1916 all a/c fall into two types.....fighters & bombers
If you want dogfighting, set fighters against fighters or fighters against bombers
There are some bombers in the game with forward firing m/g's but the AI tends to use these a/c for "spirited defense" rather than aerial attack.
There has been lots of discussions by members about the accuracy and efficacy of AI etc but I find it reasonable...and less predictable than it was in earlier versions......but that might be just me
If you want to test your combined bomberpilot/gunner skills try flying (no AI) a pusher +ff m/g like a Voisin DUKSIII against an early fighter...say a Pfalz E 1 or a Halberstadt D II
Set the start altitude around 1000m and try and bring the fighter down....either as a pilot ( putting the a/c in position for your AI gunner to shoot at the enemy) or a gunner (hoping your AI pilot knows what he doing
).....true skill is flying pilot + gunner combined
If you have to fly bomber v bomber I suppose you could set up that scenario in FMB......
I've just set a Aviatik BI against a Voisin on Uzins excellent Belarus Winter map...but the a/c simply circled each other taking desultory pot shots ....all very dull
Anyway, hope this helps......happy flying !
Cheers
Alfie
